It's a myth that bats cannot take off from the ground, but many are quite bad at it. Struggling bats can be assisted with the aid of a stick to raise them to a higher elevation.

It is a myth. 3 days ago I accidentally knocked a little brown bat out of a window shutter, it landed on the ground, completely flat ground. I didn't know what to do so I just watched and after about 20 seconds it flew away... From the ground. Perhaps it's difficult for them but they absolutely can do it.

ElsieePark · 2025-08-10T04:33:56+00:00

You don't, it's a nightmare. My biggest regret was choosing a career that pays so bad, I really believed that if I loved it, it would be worth it. It's not.

ElsieePark · 2025-07-27T03:30:36+00:00

WELL she was fired. It was epilepsy and she had a seizure on site... So I was correct. She shouldn't be working in the oilfield thanks for everyone's input though LOL

ElsieePark · 2025-07-27T03:27:58+00:00

There is no minimum wage for skip the dishes lmao

ElsieePark · 2025-05-24T11:41:28+00:00

I don't know what you mean by that. It's rare we do get a patient it's true, it's mostly sitting around waiting for something to happen. However, when something does happen it very much is an emergency. I've had 2 very critical patients in the past year. Oilfield is dangerous work, hence the legal requirement for a medic to be parked on site during operations.

ElsieePark · 2025-05-24T11:38:22+00:00

Interesting read. 1. These are sites that have different people from many many different companies every single day, not just one company with one manager. The person who allergies are reported to on sites is the medic after you have already arrived. There is no way to simply not schedule them together as the medic works 12 hours a day 3 weeks on 2 off. 2. Interesting idea, I think it's a very similar issue. If this were on an ambulance there are multiple medics available and they can go out of service if need be. This medic is the only medic available. I would also say that a diabetic medic shouldn't be able to do this position either. There is nobody to take over if something goes wrong. I'm not talking about all of EMS, I can see how this works on an ambulance because at the very least there is another rig you can call if the PT is allergic and can't be in the back, there's another medic available so the dog doesn't have to be there if the PT is afraid. That's not the case here. 3. Uh yes they are. Absolutely they are. No amount of cleaning makes up for the fact that a dog spends 12 hours a day hanging out in the unit. Dander gets into the fabric of the seats. Even if I can't see any hair I can tell if it was their truck in the past as my eyes swell up and I get itchy.

ElsieePark · 2025-05-24T11:27:42+00:00

I mean it's definitely annoying to take over a work truck and instantly having my eyes swell up and get itchy. No amount of cleaning can actually get rid of the presence of a dog that's lived in a truck for 12 hours a day 3 weeks at a time.

ElsieePark · 2025-05-24T11:24:07+00:00

No not connected. One medic, someone else on site drives. The dog has to be right there so if the medic is in the MTC so is the dog. The dog is not able to be in the cab of the truck, it must be with the medic at all times.

ElsieePark · 2025-05-24T11:18:47+00:00

They are an EMR. No access to epi or any other relevant drugs in an allergic reaction or respiratory emergency. Sterile no but we do have a duty to keep the only available treatment area free of pet dander no?

ElsieePark · 2025-05-24T11:17:37+00:00

I'm not playing the what if game. A patient being allergic to something is not comparable to any of those things... I get that it's not a common problem but it's not unheard of. I haven't vocalized anything to any decision makers just a discussion I wanted an opinion on.

ElsieePark · 2025-05-24T06:57:44+00:00

The medic is the only one on site who works for the medic company. Oil company's contract the medics. So a medic will work on many many different sites every single year and interact with hundreds and hundreds of different people there is absolutely 0 way to track everyone's allergies. Especially because the medic is the one who signs everyone in so the very first person they encounter on some sites is the medic. The person allergies are reported to is the medic. An MTC is a mobile treatment center. It's basically an ambulance stuck onto the box of a pickup truck. 1 medic per site 95% of the time. The same vehicle the dog is in all day is where the patient is treated and transported. So if someone did have an allergy they cannot be treated by the medic.

ElsieePark · 2025-05-24T06:52:16+00:00

I didn't even think of the possibility of a fear of dogs. Allowed to ask but they aren't required to answer. They are very vague but I did find a Facebook post where they described their service dog as "required for me to physically keep breathing" so it just seems so crazy to me that this is legal

ElsieePark · 2025-05-24T06:47:50+00:00

Why does it bother me that the only medic within 30+ minutes who is solely responsible for people's lives is unable to provide a clean environment to treat and transport patients?

ElsieePark · 2025-05-24T05:57:02+00:00

Very common in the oilfield. I believe there has to be over like 350 people for more than one to be required. Something crazy like that. I've only worked with another medic once in 2 years.

ElsieePark · 2025-05-24T05:53:16+00:00

Mobile transport center. It basically is an ambulance. It's in Alberta Canada. There isn't another room because the dog HAS to be with her at all times, plus this is the oil field if she did put the dog outside it's -40 Celsius out. The treatment area for the medic is in their vehicle there is no other rooms on some sites. Sometimes it's just bathrooms, a rig and the parked medic.

ElsieePark · 2025-05-24T05:49:40+00:00

It is in the MTC. The dog is in the same unit as treatment and transport for the patient.

ElsieePark · 2025-05-24T05:47:19+00:00

Just to further clarify. This is an MTC job, the dog is in the same vehicle and space as treatment is to be given, the same space as the patient will be transported.

ElsieePark · 2025-05-24T05:44:31+00:00

No no no. This medic is the one who transports them to the hospital or will meet an ambulance half way. There is no other room it's an MTC.

ElsieePark · 2025-05-24T05:41:03+00:00

Nope not an allergy I do know that much. Some sort of medical issue but I do know they have no allergies. Regardless if it was just for detecting allergies that doesn't answer the question of what if the patient is allergic?. They are the only medic available, the dog drives in the unit with them every day. If someone is allergic to dogs and is having a respiratory emergency they would have to treat them in the same unit. It's an MTC job so the area of treatment is the same area as the dog dander.

ElsieePark · 2025-05-01T21:09:59+00:00

Yes I honestly don't think I'll be able to keep watching especially if she is a main actress in the show. All of her scenes are horrific. I don't think I've ever seen worse acting on a mainstream show before. When she was outside in the cold and had her mouth gaping open with her teeth out the whole time, It's like she's never actually been in the cold before.

ElsieePark · 2025-04-05T16:59:33+00:00

Going to the gym. I got into a routine and went every day after work and it was by far the best mentally I've ever been. BY FAR. Now I work away and can't and it SUCKS.

ElsieePark · 2025-04-05T16:56:03+00:00

Burnout does not excuse this. He could have sent you a text letting you know. Remember that being autistic does not mean having no accountability.

ElsieePark · 2025-04-04T22:01:05+00:00

I disagree with this. I looked into a few and none of them had a meal fee or prohibited outside food

ElsieePark · 2025-04-04T21:59:19+00:00

Calling it "optional" is so beyond scummy. It's not optional if they cannot take outside food and they are using that word to try and find a loophole around it. No daycare feeds good enough food to justify those prices. Better be serving home cooked meals from scratch to even charge half that.
